In the past two days when quitting Firefox all appears normal. However, when reopening it there is a message about unclosed tabs that starts with "Well this is embarrassing". I can only get back to Firefox by highlighting the last tab used and closing it with the button provided in the lower left of the screen.

hello, this is currently a problem in firefox when you first close all open firefox windows and then close the application afterwards - the bug should be addressed in a later version of firefox.

as a workaround in the meanwhile you could close firefox (through firefox > quit) while the browser window is still running or try this: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash. double-click it and change its value to false.
